Author's Note: Laxus will seem really ooc/oc (don't really know which, not much of my problem) because of the beginning of the story he has started to fall down his canon path. That will not be the case of this story as he loses that, more will be explained in the chapter and at the end.

Chapter 1: A New Family and a New Day

July 20, x777

A pink haired boy was stumbling throughout a forest, he wasn't paying much attention as he kept shouting, "Igneel!"

When he reached a little clearing he stopped his shouting and pricked his ears before sniffing the air. Following the scent he entered a dense thicket of trees until he stopped at one of the trees, sitting at the base of the tree was a little blue-haired girl no older than he age of five crying while muttering, "Why Grandine, why did you leave me?"

Sniffing the air gain to make sure he had the right scent he stepped forward and embraced the crying child. He himself was feeling sad at the abandonment of his father Igneel but he knew in his heart and in his instincts that he needed to be strong. The scent that he was following was reminiscent of Igneel, he had known it wasn't Igneel however because it was much more mellowed out. Yet he kept thinking of a lesson that Igneel taught him a few years ago.

Flashback

"Alright Natsu, I need you to listen. This will be imperative to you in your future. I don't know when but I know that you will come across others like yourself."

A younger version of the pink haired boy, now known as Natsu, stopped running around and gawked at the red dragon that had just spoken.

"Other people like me?" He questioned.

"Yes, dragon slayers like you. I want you to know, every dragon slayer is your sibling. It doesn't matter from which generation they are from. Whether they are First generation like you, Second generation with implanted lacrimas, or Third generation which are a combination of both. For any Second generation slayer you need to show them this memory lacrima, it is to help you prove yourself to your siblings. Also, teach any sibling from the Second generation about our draconian history." Igneel spoke.

"I will father, should I meet any other slayer like myself. I promise."

Present

"Shh, it's okay. Your big brother Natsu has got you. I won't let anything bad happen to you, I promise."

The little girl now known as a dragon slayer slowly stopped crying and looked up at Natsu with large brown eyes. The small slayers eyes seemed to be pleading with hope as she said, "Do you mean it?" She sniffed the air before giving a small smile and returning the embrace of Natsu. The change in her demeanor startled Natsu before he relaxed and gave a grin.

"Of course I would protect my little sister, it is our culture. I was taught by my father Igneel to always protect my family."

"My mother Grandine taught me to always support my family. I think she meant that in more ways than one because she said I would know the reasons in time."

"Well if we are siblings, can I know my little sister's name?" Natsu inquired.

"Wendy Marvell!" Proclaimed a giggling Wendy.

"Such a beautiful name, now then, since I promised that I would always protect you that means we can travel and search for our parents together. And one day, we will find them. But we will do it together. So come on Wendy, our adventure is just beginning." Natsu gave another goofy grin and grasped both of Wendy's hands pulling her to her feet and taking off, still dragging her along to keep her close.

A Few Months Later

Natsu and Wendy were following a scent. They started to follow it from Oshibana and they were now entering a town called Magnolia. From the beginning they knew that the person was a dragon slayer, he just had that slayer scent but he didn't have the scent of a dragon on him meaning he was more than likely a second generation dragon slayer.

The scent led to an old wooden building with a banner hanging out in front with a sign saying Fairy Tail.

The pair slowly opened the large doors and tried to step in quietly. As they stepped through the door they were witness to an all-out guild brawl, one corner of the guild was away from the fight and sitting at these tables were young children. The two young slayers cautiously moved farther into the building avoiding the brawl to go up to the bar so they could wait and talk to the dragon slayer whose scent they were following. Upon reaching the bar a short man with white hair wearing an orange and blue suit approached them asking, "Are you two here to join Fairy Tail?"

The two children responded with questioning looks, the old man sighed and said, "Fairy Tail is a magic guild, one of the best in Fiore. I am Makarov Dreyar, third master of Fairy Tail."

A look of understanding passed between the two as they grinned at each other before Natsu turned back to Makarov saying, "Sure, we're in but I want you to answer two questions I have."

"Well, I suppose I could, I mean it won't kill me. So, ask away." Makarov said with a delighted smile.

"First I want to know the name of the dragon slayer in the guild and second, is there a place that we can stay?"

Makarov was startled by the first question but he managed to recover quickly and responded, "The dragon slayer is my grandson Laxus Dreyar. As to your second question you can stay in the infirmary until you get your own place. Now, I was hoping to ask you a few questions of my own. First, what are your names? Second, where and what color do you want your guild mark? Do you use any magic, if so what? Plus, how did you know that Laxus is a dragon slayer?"

Natsu ushered Wendy forward to answer the first two questions, "Wendy Marvell, blue and right shoulder please." She squeaked out before Natsu stepped forward to answer everything else.

"Natsu Dragneel, I want red and my right shoulder as well. As for the others, we both use dragon slaying magic and we could smell the slayer part on Laxus-nii even if he wasn't raised by a dragon."

Makarov spat his beer out when he heard Natsu proclaim his grandson as his older brother, "What do you mean 'Laxus-nii'?"

"It's a dragon slayer custom, every dragon slayer is our sibling. Here, I have a lacrima made by my father to prove it to you." Natsu explained, pulling out the said lacrima.

"Alright, I want to get Laxus over here to watch this as well, and why don't we embarrass Laxus while we are at it. Quickly, hide behind the bar." Natsu grinned and sprinted behind the bar as Wendy dutifully trailed behind him. Makarov grinned before shouting, "Laxus!"

Laxus sighed from the table he was at and stood up and made his way over to his grandfather. He stopped a few feet in front of him before asking, "Yes gramps?"

"I was told to watch this lacrima recording and I hear it pertains to you and your… other power. Since I figured it would save time for both of us to watch it together I called you over." Makarov explained before playing the video. At the end Laxus just stood there dumbfounded, he knew what that meant but he wasn't sure it was a good thing.

As he was thinking about what he just heard and saw he was startled out of his thoughts by a shout of both a young boy and a little girl who were charging him.

They were both shouting, "Laxus-nii!" as they barreled him over while hugging the tall teen.

The brawl most of the guild was in came to a sudden standstill as everyone's heads whipped around to look at the bar. Many of the people had expressions of disbelief written across their faces while some had their jaws open. Two rivals that were fighting just a few seconds ago were supporting each other as they howled with laughter.

A raven haired kid from the corner tables stood up and shouted in disbelief, "Laxus has siblings? So, you have had three grandchildren this whole time master?"

Makarov knew it would come to this and he was fine with it, he thought the entire situation was completely hilarious and would have been sure to make a memory lacrima of the occasion. "Settle down Gray, they aren't technically siblings based on blood so that means that they technically aren't my grandchildren in the same way. However, Laxus and I have to admit something to everyone before we continue. Laxus is a dragon slayer, his father implanted a lacrima infused with dragon slaying magic into him when he was young and we have kept it hidden. Now, in accordance to dragon customs it states that all dragon slayers are siblings." There was a collective shout of, "What!?" Before Makarov finished, "Saying such, it does mean that they are now my grandchildren. Well then, I think it is time to party! We must welcome our two new family members Natsu Dragneel and Wendy Marvell."

With those words spoken the brawl was disbanded in favor of heavy drinking. By this time both Natsu and Wendy had gotten off of Laxus and all three were sitting at a table out of the way. Wendy had a mug of juice that she was sipping from while Natsu and Laxus sat on either side of her chatting about a wide variety of things when Laxus dropped a bombshell question, "Do you want to see about building a house for us, I mean it would make it easier for me to learn more about my new family and about dragon culture. Besides, I figure we could train as a family to get stronger so we can protect one another better."

Natsu contemplated this for a bit, he knew it was a good idea that would keep him closer to his remaining family and he was ware Laxus also knew. Plus it solved his housing issue, however there was only one problem, "I don't want to be a burden on you because I have no money."

Laxus simply grinned, "Don't worry about it, I can pay for the house and then we pool our money as we complete jobs. You won't be a burden, I promise you that. Anyways, why don't we look at jobs that you can pick out in the morning."

Natsu just nodded as he followed Laxus up to the request board. Laxus was pointing out different flyers that he/they could do but all Natsu could see was gibberish so he told Laxus with a frown, "I… I can't read them. I have no clue what they say Laxus-nii."

Laxus started laughing at Natsu while he protested, "It's not funny!" Eventually Laxus was able to keep a straight face and said, "Don't worry, I can teach you how to read sometime soon."

Natsu sighed in relief that he wouldn't have too much trouble in the future. He glanced behind him to check on Wendy who was still happily drinking her juice. Laxus glanced at Natsu for a second before scanning the guild before looking over at Wendy himself. He reflected on the day, it seemed like so much of a blessing because he was giving into his darkness that desired nothing but power. He now had a new focus, two new focuses actually. Natsu and Wendy. Keeping them safe now was priority number one. He was pulled from his musings when he heard a small fist fight break out between two of the younger kids he recognized, Jet and Droy. They were fighting over what they always fought about, Levy. Their fights were typically just verbal sparring but when the fists were flying between the two, Laxus just got a bad feeling. Jet and Droy had randomly picked up their mugs and were now dueling each other with them, trying to whack the other. On one of the swings they took they connected and the reverberations made them lose their grip while still swinging their arms, towards Wendy. Laxus panicked for a second before he shouted, "Lightning Body!" and disappearing in a flash of lightning and reappearing in front of Wendy with both hands up to catch the flying mugs before crushing them before giving Jet and Droy a low guttural growl to which they responded by running. Laxus turned around and gave Wendy a small smile and patted her head when she smiled back when Natsu came running up, "Laxus-nii, can you teach me how to do that?"

The smile Laxus held turned into a full blown grin as he answered, "Sure, but to achieve it I will have to put you through hell."

"That's fine Laxus-nii I just wanna be able to do that with my fire." Natsu proclaimed.

"And me with my sky magic, or at least wind magic." Wendy piped.

"Alright, but Wendy, I want to take your training a little slower than Natsu's. Is that alright with you?" Laxus inquired.

Wendy just nodded her response as Laxus continued, "Alright, then we start first thing tomorrow morning. I have enough money saved up to build a nice house for us and sustain us for a little while. At least until Natsu, and if you need it Wendy, can read."

They chorused their approval while Master Makarov listened on from a table nearby thinking, 'Well my grandchildren, I hope you can keep Laxus like this. You two might just be able to save Laxus from his dark path.'

Author's Note: I know that probably went way too fast, but if you think about it Laxus was a caring person until his defection down his darker path. Of course this will change a multitude of things like no Cait Shelter, no Laxus trying to take over the guild, Gajeel will actually be nicer, and a whole lot more but you just have to wait and see.

I want to make Laxus an even more imposing figure so I am going to be altering a few things about him, so by year x784 he will be 6'11" and I will make Elfman probably about 7'2" so others are going to be a little taller but not really all that much to make a difference.

Next chapter will be a little of Natsu, Wendy, and Laxus training but I will skip most of it for about a year for when Natsu masters something and then Laxus' S-class trial. Then I may skip another year for when Wendy masters hers and another surprise if I get to it.
